From Japan to Devon by drifting and in only 15 days too? That storm must have lifted them up and carried them across the American continent and most of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean at a speed matching an Airbus.

I pictured them being blown across the North Pacific ocean at great speed (and possibly being picked up by the storm, yes), and then blown through the straits between North & South America and then across the Atlantic. A rough plot on Google Earth says that’s a distance of 23,332km. 15 days is 360 hours, so that’s a total speed of 64km/h.

None of this is to say that their journey was remotely plausible, but the speed of their journey in itself isn’t the really ridiculous part.

Sorry if this (among many narrative expediencies I’ve used along the way) negatively affected your immersion in the comic! It’s one of many things I’d probably change if I were to go back and re-write the comic from the beginning. Along with that stupid Codex Vampiricus thing.

But the storm only raged from late at day 6 to day 12, so around 144h, which puts their speed during the storm at at least 155km/h. For a comparison, Rüdiger Nehberg needed over 60 days to cross only the Atlantik in a pedalo.

I didn’t effect me negatively at all, I’m just being a smartass.I enjoy ridiculous things, which is why I enjoy the concept of Brad the Vampire in the first place.
